BERLIN, July 16.-The tension OF feel
ing toward France has relaxed since the
French fete day has passed by with
out the occurrence of any anti-German
demonstrations. The accounts in the
German papers Of the incidents in
Paris on Thursday, represent that the
repression of popular outbursts was
solely accomplished by the presence
of such masses of troops all along the
route travelled by President Grevy and
his Ministers on their way to the re-
REV at Longchamps as has never
been seen in Paris since the days of
the Empire, and the papers seek to
prove that the populaee were in real
ity unable to make any demonstration
owing to the extraordinary precau-
tions taken by the Government. The
German embassy in Paris was especi-
ally guarded. There was no appear
ance of troops in front of the building
but a body Of cavalry was kept ON the
alert and moving in the vicinity from
early morn till midnight. The return
by the German people to calmer
mood toward the French can he as
sured however, only by cessation of
the systematic persecution of German
residents in French towns.
THE CHAUvINIsT PRESS
Continues to- publish the names and
addresses of all Germans who have
places of business in France, and
warns members of the Patriotic League
not to have any dealings with them.
Minor German employees are being
hunted out of their places at the rate
Of 100 weekly, and it is estimated
that the Germans holding situations
in France, who last year numbered
82 1000, have been decreased to one
half that number within the past six
months. Count Won Munster, the
German Ambassador at Paris, is hav-
ing constant stream of appeals Tor
help against outrages which are being
perpetrated upon Germans. The suf-
ferers are i'm the main skilled work
men, who find employment in the
manufacturing centre of France.
These appeals were made the subject
of an oral diplomatic representation
to Nj. Flourens, the Foreign Minister,
by Count Won Munster, on Wednes-
day last. The Count has followed his
oral representation with a written re-
monstrance, to which the French Min
lister Flourens will have to make a
written reply. Minister Flourens is
also asked by Count Won Munster If
his (the Minister's) Government is
powerless to deal with the organ of the
Boulangerists.
OPINION IN FRANCE.
lie Defense National declares that the
German functionaries in France are
all spies, that the central nest of the
reptiles is the Germany Embassy, and
that Count Won Munster himself is
the director of the spy administration.
M. Flourens has made verbal prom
Use to interfere and to use every power
of the. government to prevent assaults
on the Germans in future. Since
Count Won Munster made these re-
monstranees the German Consulates
at Bordeaux and Rouen report street
attacks upon Germans in those cities
and the Bordeaux consul complains
that the windows of his residence have
been smashed. The German papers
of every part concur in the opinion
that the situation is intolerable, and
that is absolutely necessary for the
French government to interpose reso-
lutely to stop German "baiting."
Count Won Munster will take a holi-
day to recruit his health and give
Minister Flourens breathing space and
time to prepare a reply to the German
remonstrance, but it is considered GER
tain that Prince Bismarck will insist
upon practical response, in the ma
ture of an assured protection for Ger
mans in France.
EMPEROR WILLIAMS MOVEMENTS.
The Emperor's interview with the
Emperor of Austria will take place at
Gastein on the 2sth instant. The
Emperor suffers from the heat and is
impatient to hasten his departure for
Mainau, for which place he will leave
on Tuesday.
THE STOCK MARKET.
The chief topic of interest in Berlin,
after the French situation, is the un-
ceasing depreciation of Russian stocks.
The fact is now recognized by both po-
litical and financial circles that the
movement is not one of lobby specula-
tors, but has definite official inspira-
ton and is a part of the government
campaign OF retaliation against Rus
sia's anti-German economic policy.
During the last fortnight the fall in
Russian securities OF all issues aver
aged fully six per cent.
